[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What motivates the TJAAG is their fear that their TJ degrees will be worth less in certain circles if their alma mater is looked on less favorably because it doesn’t have enough Black and Hispanic students. The TJAAG tries to portray itself as altruistic, but they are reactive and self-centered. [/quote] The trouble with conservatives is that their world view is so deeply skewed that they can’t even CONCEIVE of a person or group doing something that is the right thing to do even if it harms themselves. Thus they have to engage in tortured logic to somehow reverse-justify the beliefs of their enemies.[/quote] Harming themselves..how? Self serving self righteousness is all I can see from the results you have achieved. Whites 26% up, Asians 26% down. In the first place,you lump a very diverse group of people that [b]represent almost 50% of the world's population [/b]over 3.5billion.people if you just include China, India, Pakistan, Middle East, Bangladesh, Korea, Vietnam, Japan...Just India and China themselves have kids speaking second languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu. Telugu and many others.. TJ's so called Asian students have different racial backgrounds, national origins, languages, immigration status, income levels. Yet you insist on dehumanizing them by seeing them as a monolith. All this to serve your own purposes. Look in a mirror and think how you are actually helping. Bringing your politics to schools for your selfishness is just ugly, evil and ignorant. [/quote] So, at 54% of the class, Asians are well represented. [/quote] There's no such thing as "well represented." The appropriate representation in a gifted and talented program is the percentage of people that are gifted and talented. If those people happen to be asian, then so be it[/quote] Any school with over 50% of one group is hardly diverse.[/quote] Umm.. so what?[/quote] Yes, you don't care. We know. Luckily, the courts know better.[/quote]
